THE WINNER

Today's Chances At The Valley

By "RAPIER”.

The First Race Meeting of the Hongkong Jockey Club's 1954/55 season will continue from 2 p.m. today.

There are ten events, the

most important of which is the Connaught Handicap, a race for Class 2 ponies.

Here are my estimates of the chances: FIRST RACE

With Charleroi, Mr Lit has a

of great opportunity winning thig race, but he expects strong oprealtion from Hirain C or Bon

Highlight and Diana are also considered good enough to tend the more favoured three.

Nine Players Under 21 In Wolves' Match With Manchester United

By ARCHIE QUICK

One of the most remarkable First Division games' ever' played was that between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United at. Molineux last Saturday week. ` It was a pity that these rivals for the Championship should clash on the day of the Ireland-England International in Belfast, but what a chance it gave to put youth on parade,

Nine of the 22 players were under 21, all four, inside forwards were under age, Wolves had out the youngest half back line in the Club's history, there were three Lengue debutants all minors, and Manchester fielded two teenage full backs who were both in Junior football last season for the pair who were representing their country.
